INGLEWOOD, NASHVILLE - When we talk about America used to be a proper country, that's another way of saying 'there used to be more places like Roy's Tavern.' It's not some generic brewpub. It's a bar. It's got a pool table and old, slightly beat up tile floor and it's kind of dark and there are a few TVs. This is what we need more of. Great vibe. Went on a Monday after work. Tons of avaible seating. Clean. Staff was attentive and prompt.No annoying classic rock you've heard a billion times on the jukebox - think Early James and Broncho. Beer selection: Decent, but not massive. A few local beers on draft or packaged. Food: Damn if that's not one of the best thin-crust pizzas I've ever enjoyed. A nice crunch but not Saltine cracker thin. Any pizza - $18-$26 - is easily a meal for 2-3. I had the Tavern Style, not knowing half of one would be more than enough, and was wowed. A nice spicy zest from the peppers went well with the saltiness of the sausage. Took a bunch of pizza with me to go. My Uber driver taking me from the Opryland Gaylord was telling me he never takes out-of-towners to Roy's, they all want to go to Broadway downtown to the tourist area, that Roy's is a quintessential fave of locals. So I got that thrill one gets of going into an ethnic restaurant and being the only white person there. In short, if I lived in Nashville, Roy's'd be my jam. As a brief visitor, best I can do is recommend this wholeheartedly. read more

Lively sports bar where a lot of college kids hang out. We were carded in order to gain entry; we're all in our 50's. Service was very friendly. Pizza was OK. Beer selection was not bad. read more

Roy's Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Roy's is the best dive bar. Inside there is a full wrap around bar, comfortable booths that can fit big groups, and tables for smaller groups. From solo, small group, to big group theres a spot for you. Theres darts, pool, and TVs with closed captions everywhere. Good drinks, and I've heard the food is bomb but I havent actually had it yet! Large outdoor patio with seating. read more

A dive bar with excellent tavern style pizza? Twist my arm! I'm there! Service was fast and friendly, beer was cold, food was great. The crust was still crispy after a 15 minute drive home and the next day as cold leftover pizza. Would recommend you don't go there so I can get my pizza quickly. Don't ruin this for me! read more

Didn't this place existed but glad a friend of mine put me on. Stopped by on a weekday after an event around 8 and they had a good crowd. The food was good plus it was a nice neighborhood vibe. You can tell they have regulars and all the staff were super friendly. Loved the playlist curated with R&B, hip hop and little pop too. read more

Came in at 10:30pm and ordered the Chopped cheese Sammy and hot wings. Very good I just wished I knew the Sammy was super caliente! Also ordered the wings.. I recommend both if u like spicy! The girl bartender never gave us eye but instead side eyes but no acknowledgement nor welcome as we first walked in, I'm a newby here. But the male bartender was super sweet so he made up for her. Food and atmosphere is great, I like the late night food options. I'm looking forward to trying the other items on the menu! What happened to the French onion soup? read more

Roy's Tavern - Chopped cheese Sammy and Twice fried hot wings - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Roy's Tavern is a fairly new "sports bar" that sits in the old home of Henry James on Gallatin in Inglewood. While we are still mourning Henry James being no more, we decided to give Roy's Tavern a try, and we are glad we did. The essence of what we loved about Henry James is still there, but now with more TV's . We went during the off season for most major sports, so it was random racing, tennis and a few other things being shown around and behind the bar. We ordered a cocktail/beer and a few things to munch on. One of us got the Lemon Pepper wings and the other the short rib totchos. The wings were solid, but the totchos were impressive and tasty! Pricing was pretty decent with the totchos costing $14 and the wings $12, while the drinks were around $10. Only real gripe is it is all counter service, no table service. The bar gets packed and the line gets to be a bit much, which dissuaded us from ordering a second round of cocktails. I'm sure there is a good reason, but not a fan. Parking can be tricky here as the lot in back can get full quick, and when that happens, be careful. If that lot is full, then head across Gallatin and grab a spot along the roads. Overall, Roy's Tavern is a good spot. While we miss HJ, we welcome Roy's to the neighborhood. read more

Food was okay. Atmosphere was pretty good. We went during a playoff wild card game. The rib tips were great . My chopped cheese not so much. But it's not the end of the world . Would go back maybe one more time to try a couple other things on the menu. read more

If you haven't been here for the food...it's...the...it's the...you just have to come and try the food!! Ambiance is like how Nashville was in the old days. Service has been impeccable!! We've had pizza, tater tots, wings, chopped cheese burrito, Roy's Italian...all super yummy!!! read more

It was my 1st time here and what a hidden gem in East Nashville. It was a great night to get out of the snow covered roads to play darts, eat chicken wings and a round of pool. The Bartenders are very attentive and the music although a little loud had a great selection of songs. Cute spot read more

Roy's Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Dylan and Ryan are so f**cking fabulous!!! Feeling like a princess over some high noons. I'll be back bby!!!!

I've been wanting to try Roy's since it was announced they were opening and it was a blast! A sports bar with a local, retro feel, this bar is the perfect vibe for the Nashville native on weekends looking to catch the local game. I came on a Saturday night with a couple of friends to watch a college basketball game and they have ample TVs and seating for those who want to cheer on their team. For those who want to socialize they have a spacious outdoor section along with darts and pool tables inside. I think the only thing that doesn't give this a 5-star review is the service. It's a relatively crowded bar on a Saturday, so all the patrons including myself understand that service can be hit or miss. But the service that night left much to be desired. There's no real system or way to get the bartenders attention. If you want a drink or order anything, you just have to wait until they decide they want to give you attention. Could have been an off night, could be growing pains, either way it's not a deterrent and I'll be back again! I had a couple of beers and split a tavern pizza with my friends. The price for the food and drinks is definitely reasonable and they have their own parking lot so that's a win anywhere in Nashville. If you're looking to chill and have a few drinks in East, this is your spot! read more

Roy's Tavern - a can of beer and a menu - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A cool, classic sports bar. Full wrap around bar, pool table, darts, lots of different seating, patio. This is a cool place to come with friends. The drinks are good and the servers are great. I got the short rib totchos and those were really tasty. Fresh and hot. It's a lot so definitely share. My main complaint is there was way more toppings than short ribs. But I always have a good time at Roy's! read more

Roy's Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Came in to watch the game. I asked them to change the tv to the game. They said it too them an hour and half to get them to the current channels. What?? It a freaking sports bar. And only 1 game was on. Super lazy. Never going back again. And to add to that, no one even came to our table for our order. We had to go to the bar. Horrible. All the way around. read more

I cannot express how much I love this bar. If there were a frequent flyer program, I'd be in it, if there were pictures on the walls of regulars, I'd be on it. Staff is all amazing, the vibe is the perfect combination of cool and classy. With a little bit of sports bar thrown in. Favorite place to watch a game. Did I mention the staff is amazing? Roy's is my go-to first date spot because I always feel so so safe and like they have my back. Even as Roy's has gotten busier, they've stayed affordable. The drinks are always good. The cherry margarita is delicious. Plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. Love the two pool tables and dartboard so there never feels like a long wait. My ONE ding. More of a request. The food is absolutely amazing. Elevated bar food. Some of the best pizza in town. Unfortunately, there have been too many times where I wanted to and was planning on stopping by Roy's for dinner, but knew there was nothing on the menu that was on the lighter side or morehealth-conscious. I know from cooking at home that healthier ingredients are more expensive. But it has often time meant either not coming in or coming in and getting one thing to split between two people instead of two entrées. So I feel like the cost makes up for itself. Love, Just a girl. Standing in front of her favorite bar. Asking them to put a salad on the menu. read more

Great local spot to watch a game. Good food and nice people. I had the chopped cheese sandwich.

Coming from being a fan of when the bar was Henry James, I'm glad to see the energy of this place being a lot stronger. I wasn't hoping it was because of the location but also I think the antique looking bar sign helps promote "hey, we're a bar and we're here" Solid beer and full bar selection. Their menu is great quality stuff. Their smashburgers are decadent so if you need to chase your drinks, you have a few options to do so with, even pizza and a couple other sammies. Ample booth seatings, darts, pool table and outdoor patio in the front now. Glad to see it thriving early. Welcome to the 'hood. read more

I want to hate Roys Tavern... but it's a great almost sports bar. Lots of TVs no one's watching. The food is killer, rinks are moderately affordable (imagine that). Overall it's a great locals spot! Congrats Roy's, you have me a chopped cheese in Nashville. This New Yorker thanks you white his whole clogged heart! read more

Great neighborhood bar. Staff are friendly and attentive. Great service. The menu is short, but has something for everyone and everything we tried we loved. We enjoyed the green goddess chopped salad and the smash burger. Asked for grilled onions and they didn't blink an eye and yes they were delicious. The absolutely hands-down best item we ate was the pizza. The pie was crispy with just the right amount of cheese and tomato. Yum! After our group enjoyed food and a few drinks we hit the pool table for a few games. Too fun! Just moved to the area and know we'll be back with friends. Great local place! Thanks Roy's Tavern! read more

Pizza is awesome! I was very happy with the cheese pizza and I think the crust is perfect and crispy just like it should be! Bravo super good.. super super good! Great atmosphere, I felt very comfortable, very neighborly, and the owner is a very nice person. Glad I stopped by read more

Roy's Tavern - the inside of the restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I will give three stars because I like the atmosphere and it is very close to where I live. The reason why I'm not giving it five is because my last visit there I had a few drinks with a girlfriend and I was probably there inside an hour and was playing pool having a few drinks in fact a beer, an old fashion which I ordered for a friend as well along with 2 shots of woodford reserve. I asked for the tab, paid the tab and included a tip. I was confronted by a girl named Kaitlyn, who is a waiter there or partial owner "I don't know" but asked me how the service was and I told her it was fine, but then she said if the service was fine why did you give a small tip? For starters, I didn't get an itemized list of what I was charged for and for only having about maybe four or five drinks and the tab being over $100, that blew me away and then asked why I tipped what I tipped after the fact, rubbed me the wrong way, That was rude. I spend what I spend and I give what I give. The last time someone asked me that question was at Jonathan's in Germantown in that fashion was fired because I wasn't the first person he drilled down on demanding a tip. When I can afford to be generous and go above and beyond but when I can't, I give what I can. And I shouldn't have to explain myself, but it definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Gave me second thoughts of going back to be honest.. read more

This bar rocks. Phil is the man. Tons of TVs, pool tables, darts, and great service. ROYS!!!!!!

I've been a handful of times since they opened. It's fine. Had a mix of friendly/not friendly bartenders in the beginning and now they're mostly unfriendly and inattentive. Spent $70 with tip on four beers and a school pizza caliber cracker (not good tavern) pizza tonight. The menu has no prices on the beers. WTF? A Sierra Nevada draft is $10? No idea. Much better food/drinks (friendlier bartenders & published prices) in the neighborhood. Bunch of dudes who thought Limp Bizkit was cool twenty/thirty-ish something years ago hanging around. Clientele sucks. I guess that's what my neighborhood has turned into. It's okay if you need it to be. Bartenders don't give a shit about you. read more

ROYs is amazing. Went for my first time Friday night and it was busy but the staff were attentive and very friendly. Great cheap options and will be back with all my friends. The food was fire also. read more

Good great decent prices. GREAT wing sauce but we got 6 wings and the gave us all drums when we asked for a mix. Fucked up if you ask me but the drums were very good read more

Went in for a pizza with some friends. Had to order at the bar. Got our own waters at the water station while the bartender made a margarita and poured a coke. I brought the drinks and the waters and the pizza number to our table. Food we ordered all showed up at different times without a word. I went back to the bar to get silverware. No one ever came back to check on anything. I definitely got the vibe that no one who worked there could have cared less if we were there or not. Then when I went to the bar to pay, the suggested tip percentages were 20%, 25%, and 30%. It's a shame. It's a cool looking place with a cheers style square bar and great booths. The pizza was ok. Tavern style with a crispy crust that was a little burned. My Girlfriend had a $12 Chicken sandwich that didn't come with so much as a potato chip. Meh. read more

Italian sandwich was good. Don't like having to order drinks and food at bar however. It makes everything average without distinction. Bar service was adequate albeit friendly. Not a place I'd think to go to in and of itself but does make a quick retreat if in east Nash and need to put before the show. Clean. Good off street parking. read more

Roy's Tavern - Front of bar on Thursday 7pm - Pizza Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Burger's are delish. We're glad it opened because we def needed a good neighborhood bar. Love u, Roy's

Pizza is absolutely delicious! The crust is a cracker crust that is crispy and was PERFECT. I absolutely loved it. The staff is super nice and attentive, even when it's busy. This place is also new, so anyone who has left a bad review probably just caught them when it was super new and probably doesn't give people much of a break. The one person who left a bad review has left terrible reviews for long standing local establishments (all small businesses who are much more heavily effected by a Karen's review than a larger establishment) and seems like they are just extremely hard to satisfy. Check it out. It's worth it. read more

We had a pizza, great flavor and loved the style! Tavern atmosphere feel, nice bar design. No wait service order at bar, which is fine.

Amazing spot. Brilliant layout for sports games. Bartender Caitlyn was the best!! Would recommend to anyone on the east side.

Great place for a game; really cool TV set up for the booths. Great price in drinks. Good vibes. I love pool and darts as well so not much more I can ask for. read more

Best pizza and wings in nashville! Only draw back is the bar does not have lemons for your drinks

Great vibes, great food (the burger is awesome), great staff, great ice cold Natty Light, and just a great new neighborhood bar.

Pizza crust needs serious work, especially since it's the only item on their menu. Shortage of staff, staff they do have interact more with each other than with their customers. Drinks were good. Felt like a college bar, which works for some. read more
